Hepatitis C can be of two forms and called as Acute hepatitis C and Chronic hepatitis C.  Acute hepatitis C implies that you have just become infected with the virus and on the other hand chronic hepatitis C means that you have had a disease infection for more than 5-6 months.

According to medical science, generally people who got infected from this disease (hepatitis C) develop the chronic form of hepatitis C. Finding hepatitis symptoms may be hard and difficult to find because people suffering from chronic hepatitis C may not have any visible symptoms. This is the main reason why many people have hepatitis C for 15 years or longer before it is actually diagnosed. However, if you are interested in knowing the common symptoms of Hepatitis C, then we have listed some of them below:

 Fatigue
 Pains in Joints and belly
 Redness on the palms

These are some of the common symptoms associated with Hepatitis C. However, there are many other diseases and conditions that may have these similar symptoms. It is better to seek medical advice.
